Winners Slots Reviews: August 26
1) Sevens=Millionaire
Rhea
Shaw of Commerce City, CO has a story to tell about her huge strike of
$3,683,932. at the Casino Royal Casino, Las Vegas. “My husband and I
were playing some progressive poker machines and we weren’t having any
luck,” Shaw began. “I then cashed out $58.75, took the money and
started playing Millionaire Sevens. I only made one bet and suddenly
the reels just started spinning without stopping. When I pressed the
‘Spin’ button again, everything lit up and I won!”
Rhea and her husband, Steve were visiting Vegas after a death in the family.
“We
really needed a break and it’s good to have something positive happen.”
Plans for the future including paying off their mortgage, retiring and
helping their son. “He’s still a bachelor, so maybe this will increase
his odds,” smiled Shaw.
2) $5 Is All You Need
Barbara
Trujillo, 56, had bet just $5 playing a Wheel of Fortune slot at Gold
Rush Hotel & Casino in Colorado. “At first I didn’t know what
happened, but when I realized when I won the jackpot I got really
excited,” stated a shocked Trujillo. The Megajackpot hit for a golden
$421,472. The retired local has no set plans.
3) Winning With Comps
Gilbert
Biancucci, a retiree from Rochester, NY started his slots play with a
$20 comp from Seneca Niagara Casino in NY. Gilbert and his wife both
play Wheel of Fortune slots and after winning $217,771, his story
continues. “I played the slot next to the winning machine, lost
$3.50 and switched machines. I never went into my own money; I hit the
jackpot on the third spin.” The fast-as-lightening winner concludes
with “I won within the first 8 minutes of arriving at the casino.”
4) Slingo Mystery Bonus:
once again, slots and bingo combine to create a slot game that features
Sizzling Wilds, stacked/clustered wilds, a top box, 50 paylines and 5
reels.
The top box displays a game card with 25 squares randomly
numbered from 1-75 and five reels corresponding to the 5 columns of the
card.
Three scatters activate the Slingo bonus top box game for 8-16 spins.
Therefore,
a number on the reel matching a number in the corresponding column
translates to a spot hit. A joker symbol is also considered a spot hit
and assists with completing the SLINGO.
Scoring is as follows: a)
spot hit=1-10 credits, b) SLINGO=20 credits or a full card=100 credits,
c) mystery award=60-1000 credits. All credits accumulate when spins
completed and are X line bet.
It’s no Mystery why this combination attracts slot players.
5) The Three Stooges: the return of the Stooges is always good news.
Toss
in the images, sights, sounds and symbols of pies, football helmets,
stethoscopes and you have a hit game. And, there’s more with wild
symbols depicting Larry playing the fiddle or Curly or Moe dancing.
Grab a wild symbol and the entire reel becomes wild for more credits.
The
Wild Stooges Bonus begins when three or more classic TV symbols land on
adjacent reels for 3 free spins each and includes 2 rows of wild
symbols.
The top progressive jackpots are won with 5 matching
Stooge images as follows: Larry jackpot=$5000, Curly=$10,000 and
Moe=$15,000.
If you are a Stooge fan, this slot game is for you.

1) Charities Win Too
Joseph
Finnegan, 48 from New York knows where his jackpot win will benefit the
most. He is president of a charitable foundation, so an easy decision
for this retired executive. Finnegan “just had a feeling” and decided
to play two Wheel of Fortune dollar slots at the Spa Casino in Palm
Springs, CA. Even when his hunch produced a $460,719. Megajackpot win,
he was still in an unbelievable state of mind. In the end, Finnegan and
the charities win big.
2) An International Win
Dalid
Leviy, a clothing shop owner from Karmiel, Israel was patiently waiting
her turn at the quarter Wheel of Fortune slot games at Caesars Palace
in Vegas. Once she started playing, it was a short wait and only
a $30 wager that produced a $282,951 jackpot.
“At first I thought
I won $4000, but then my family told me about the jackpot,” stated
Leviy. It was too soon to make plans for her win.

3) Wizard of Oz: Wicked Riches and Glinda are two of the newer versions for this series based on the popular film loved by all.
The
similarities with both versions are four progressive-level jackpots,
five reels with top box display of progressives, three bonus features
and both offer 20 or 40 line games.
Both versions offers a free spin
bonus along with the Tornado Feature directed at one of the four
progressive jackpots. During play with max coin in play, a
tornado randomly appears on the reels.
You then select one of eight bars that reveal either credits or a progressive win.
Moving
to the differences, Wicked Riches symbols transform into wild payouts
when a Flying Monkey symbol appears on the third reel.
At that time, more flying monkeys get into the game and transform all the other similar symbols into wilds.
With
Glenda the Good Witch, Glenda appears during a spin and transforms one
of the five reels into a Wild Reel thereby resulting in better payouts.
Both of these delightful games can produce wins that are ‘over the rainbow.’

1) A $100 Gusher
Larry
D. Lewis, 28, a local oil field worker was looking to relax and Sam’s
Town Casino in Shreveport, LA was the place to play Wheel of Fortune
quarter slots. After betting only $100, Lewis struck a gusher, a
$1,685,577. Megajackpot. “I was in utter shock”, said Lewis. “I was
just enjoying myself and didn’t realize how much I had won when my
machine started ringing. It was very exciting.” Speaking about the
future, the new millionaire stated, “This will just help me enjoy life
more. I plan to use the money to treat myself to a new car.”
2) River Wild: Known as the Outdoor Wild Series, the games in this group are River Wild, Forest Wild, Glacier Wild and Grizzly Wild.
With
an abundance of wild symbols, one of the games--River Wild is a 50-line
slot where 3 scattered bonus symbols will get you 5 free games. Wild
symbols appearing during the freebie event doubles the jackpot and it's
possible to play a total of 50 free games. This series,
available in penny denominations is sure to ‘drive you wild.’
3) Jeopardy!:
the introduction of a multi level progressive slot for this popular TV
game show is sure to please new and veteran fans. The game board is in
place at the top box along with 60 paylines plus stacked and clustered
wilds for some nice payouts.
Make that ante/side bet to qualify for a jackpot resetting at 500,000 for five Jeopardy! symbols.
The progressive levels are: a) free spin round activated by 5 scattered bonus symbols.
b)
reel spin displays a credit value as a symbol, and then the related top
box value shows a blank, a bonus re-trigger or a progressive win.
c)
if you win the progressive or turn over all the spots in the category,
you move to Double Jeopardy! At that time, the categories and all the
bonus values are doubled for another round of freebie spins and
possible progressive win.

the player for Final Jeopardy! where you pick one of 5 categories for
bonus credits or a progressive for at least $1000.
